MILWAUKEE - More than a bell is needed to save Dustin Diamond this time around. Diamond, best known as geeky Screech Powers on the 1989-1993 teen comedy series "Saved by the Bell," is selling T-shirts with his photo on them to try to raise $250,000 so he doesn't lose his gray two-story house under a foreclosure order.
"If the public didn't care, I as an entertainer wouldn't have been a success," he said.
Diamond, 29, is trying to sell nearly 30,000 shirts — at $15 or $20 (autographed) each — to supplement the income he makes as a standup comic so he doesn't have to move from his Port Washington home, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee.
The T-shirt has a photo of Diamond holding a sign that says, "Save My House." The back of the shirt reads, "I paid $15.00 to save Screeech's house." The third "e" was added to get around copyright laws, he said.
He's selling the shirts on his Web site: http://www.getdshirts.com.
The foreclosure order was filed last month in Ozaukee County Circuit Court.
Diamond appeared on Howard Stern's satellite radio show Tuesday to plead his case. "I'm doing great with my comedy, but this is definitely a low point," he said. "Real life comes in and affects you."
Diamond doesn't have a listed phone number, and e-mails to the address on his Web site and at an alternative address were not immediately returned Thursday.

I have little sympathy for the likes of Skreech, Ed McMann, etc., in the entertainment industry. After years of making excellent money riding the star train they weren't smart enough to put the money they made away for a rainy day. There are plenty of people out there who have worked hard in a respectable occupation who have fallen on hard times and no one is bailing them out. Maybe Skreech should try another line of work. There are jobs out there where he could make an honest living and help himself save his own home.
ReplyDeleteI was a single parent who raised two children and worked two and three jobs to make ends meet. It is still hard but I never asked and was never offered any bail-outs. How about taking resonsibility for yourself for a change. No Boo-Hoo's from me...
keep the thoughts coming...
